• Ideal basic food for all Cobitidae (Botia, Gyrino, Gastromyzon, Pangio)
• Use: Leave to the bottom of the aquarium or fix on the interior window by a slight pressure
• Rut natural ingredients, without synthetic additives, for a diet close to the natural diet and good health of aquarium fish. Tested during JBL research expeditions in tropical regions.
• Great appetite, even in difficult species, thanks to high -end ingredients like salmon, spirulina and shrimp
• Contents: sealed, recyclable original, waterproofing and light box, with doser inside the lid (for 100, 250, 1000 ml).

All the Cobitids are from Asia and they have a benthic lifestyle. They therefore feed mainly on the ground. Many species, for example the Clown Loche, the Loche d'Horas and the Loche-Verte are good snail eaters!

How do the background fish from a community aquarium get their food?
You have certainly already observed this phenomenon: someone throws a food tablet in the aquarium for its links that live at the bottom, but the fish of the other layers of water catch it and the Loches are found without anything! Another variant: we want the Loches to have a little food from other fish. But as a rule, the distributed ration is so large that it nourishes the Loches and the Algae! For example, the Loches do not catch food because it landed in the decoration. She can then rot and lead to algae problems.
To make it better: first nourish the fish of the upper water layers and while they are in the middle of "bulimic crisis", throw one or two food tablets with the Loches.

How if you have different background fish in an aquarium? You can easily give 2 kinds of tablets at the same time (e.g. JBL Pronovo Corydoras for battleship fish and JBL Pronovo Botia for Loches). It will even be positive for fish, because they will have a more varied diet and each group of fish will still receive food adapted to its species. What is the difference between the tablets and the "Wafers" pastilles? Food tablets (e.g. JBL Pronovo Tab, JBL Pronovo Botia) are mechanically compressed flakes. The pastilles (Wafers), on the other hand, are made from a rush in an "endless sausage", then debited in thin and dried slices when leaving the extruder.
